Yin Zhen walked past them and gradually distanced herself. Gao Ruikun whispered in her ear from time to time, and their relationship seemed closer than just friends.
Lin Gantang had a strong impression of Gao Ruikun.
Yin Zhen had changed her usual style of dressing, putting extra effort into her appearance. When she walked alongside Gao Ruikun, it was evident that their relationship went beyond mere friendship.
“Go ahead and drive over. I want to have a word with Yin Zhen,” Lin Gantang said.
Wen Yanqing seemed somewhat concerned, “Should I accompany you?”
Lin Gantang suddenly grasped his concern and couldn’t help but laugh and sigh, “I’m not going to pick a fight with her.”
Having said that, she playfully nudged him, causing Wen Yanqing’s heart to melt.
The unintentional displays of affection and closeness that Lin Gantang often exhibited had a way of weakening his defenses.
As Yin Zhen and Gao Ruikun went outside, it appeared that Gao Ruikun had something to attend to as he left. When Lin Gantang caught up with her, Yin Zhen was smiling at Gao Ruikun’s retreating figure.
Lin Gantang diverted her gaze from Gao Ruikun. “Are you dating someone?”
“Aren’t you dating someone too? What’s there to ask?” Yin Zhen’s tone remained amiable, indicating that she was probably in a good mood.
“Was it Uncle Yin who introduced you?”
“No, why are you so interested in my affairs?” Yin Zhen assessed Lin Gantang. “I’m heading back. I don’t want to argue with you.”
“I didn’t come here to argue with you,” Lin Gantang stated. “In the past, 1 had quite a few friends who were into wild partying. You should remember them, right?”
Those troublemakers? Yin Zhen definitely remembered them. Every time they got into a fight, Lin Gantang’s friends would often approach her, insisting on seeking justice for Lin Gantang. It was quite annoying.
“I know Gao Ruikun. His personal life is far from clean,” Lin Gantang stated bluntly. “I don’t know what image he presents in front of you. If you’re considering pursuing a relationship with him, I suggest you have someone investigate him first before making a decision.”
Yin Zhen frowned, and her good mood seemed to have dissipated with Lin Gantang’s words. “Are you being genuinely concerned?”
Lin Gantang knew she was skeptical, so she shrugged. “You’ll find out whether I’m lying once you investigate. I used to be quite reckless, but one should judge with fresh eyes after a few days of separation. Don’t view me with old eyes.”
Lin Gantang didn’t attempt to persuade her further, allowing Yin Zhen to contemplate on her own.
Seeing Wen Yanqing waiting not far away for her, she felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled and bid farewell to Yin Zhen before hurrying over.
Yin Zhen was momentarily captivated by her smile. Then, she saw Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing smiling at each other as they left hand in hand.
Lin Gantang’s composed attitude made it impossible for Yin Zhen to ignore what she had just said.
In the Lin family, when Mr. Lin heard the commotion of Lin Gantang’s return, he raised his eyelids. “You’re back? Have you eaten?”
“I’ve had my meal,” Lin Gantang replied. She noticed the pile of wooden parts on the coffee table and inquired curiously, “Dad, what are you doing?”
“I’m making toys for Xiao Bao,” Mr. Lin replied, sanding the rings in his hand with matte paper to a shiny finish.
Xiao Bao? Oh, it was the child in Jiang Tongtong’s belly. Lin Gantang remarked, “The baby is still a long way from being born. Getting toys for the baby won’t be easy. There are plenty of toys available outside. How much time will you spend making one?”
“Buying, buying, buying, always spending money outside without thinking. You don’t even bother to bring Yanqing home for meals,” Mr. Lin grumbled in an irritable tone.
Lin Gantang was confused.
“Dad, you’re a little confused. How can dating couples come home for dinner?” Lin Gantang bent down to pick up the ring that Mr. Lin had sanded. It looked like a small wheel.
Mr. Lin snatched it back. “Don’t touch it. You might lose it later.”
Lin Gantang stood up and headed upstairs. “We don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl in the womb. Why are you making a car? It’s going to be a lovely little girl. She’ll be upset if she sees her grandpa has only made toys that boys like.”
“Do you still need toys for a little girl?” Mr. Lin assembled the wheels together. “Little girls like castles. I’ll just buy one for her.”
“Dad, 1 like castles too,” Lin Gantang said sincerely.
Without even lifting his head, Mr. Lin jabbed at her heart, “You’re not cute..”
